The longer the better or is it?

This is the 3 section staff which was used by one of my favorite movies FEARLESS by Jet Li. I love the story of how the weapon came to be. The story is that a royal body guard of a Chinese emperor was defending him from thieves and then his quarter staff broke into 3 pieces. He then linked them together and he had a more mobile weapon which became the 3 section staff.

I like this weapon because in Chinese martial arts exhibition it looks very nice and beautiful. The 3 section staff in real life looks like 3 arnis put together. This is a hard weapon to also use because it can hit you instead of your enemy.
